The report “Feed Amino Acids Market by Livestock (Swine, Cattle, Poultry, Aquatic Animals & Others), by Amino Acid (Tryptophan, Lysine, Methionine, Threonine & Others), by Geography - Global Trends & Forecasts to 2018”, now available on ASDReports, defines and segments the global feed amino acids market with analyses and projection of the global market size in terms of value for the feed amino acids. It also identifies the driving and restraining factors of the global market with analyses of trends, opportunities, burning issues, and winning imperatives.

The market is segmented and the value is projected on the basis of regions such as North America, Europe, Asia-Pacific, and Rest of the World (ROW). The key countries of each region are covered and their market is projected. The market is further segmented and the value is projected on the basis of amino acid, livestock, and geography.

Feed amino acids are supplements that are added to increase productivity of animals. They are also used to reduce the nitrogen content in the excreta of animals. Thus, feed amino acids help in keeping the livestock healthy, and also help in reducing the cost of feed by increasing the productivity of animals. Some important feed amino acids include Tryptophan, Lysine, Methionine, Threonine, and Others. These feed amino acids supplement the feed in varying quantities, depending on the environmental factors and the feed type.

The demand-driving factors of the feed amino acid market are the globally increasing prices of feed and the increasing concerns regarding the environment owing to the nitrogen excretion by livestock animals. The main restraint for the industry might be the development of alternative sources of proteins for animals. However, the development of by-pass amino acids for ruminants serves as an opportunity in the feed amino acids industry. The manufacturers are developing innovative production techniques to manufacture products at a lower cost and increase their production capacity.

The global market for feed amino acids, in terms of value, was estimated to be worth around $4,404.3 million in 2013 and is projected to grow to $5,729.0 million by 2018, at the CAGR of 5.4%. The main industry participants are involved in acquisitions to penetrate the untapped markets.
